I started this painting on my birthday as a treat for myself back in February, but I lacked time to finish it. But luckily ~Kuronokiri decided to help me out and sponsored me to finish the painting! She got the high res file in return for her help.

So here is my character Nym, enjoying her morning tea. It's going to be a hot day judging by the cloudless sky, so she's taking advantage of the cool of the morning to have a hot beverage. I actually own this cup, and it is quite large. But since Nym is a tiny character, it looks even bigger in her little hand-paws.

I LOVE the design of this creature! The fur and the feathers blend so well together and it's expression is really tranquil. The shading is simple but effective and the background haze adds to the mood.

Aww, how lovely! I haven't seen art of Nym in a while, I think this is the first time I've noticed how slight her features are - all but for those giant feet! Love the peaceful expression and the contrast of the lovely green cup over the warm-colored character. Well done!
